This was the last day of the fast and what am I reading Daniel 10, Daniel is speaking of taking no pleasant food for 21 days. Although he says three full weeks. I had the same thing for breakfast this morning as I have had for the past week. It's good and clean and (I think it's tasty)it's nutritious.
I wonder if Daniel had anything like this...no he might have had quinoa instead of oats.
Okay Daniel was fasting because he was given some news if you would, and the news was disturbing. Or perhaps it was because the people in exile had not all gone with Ezra...there are several reason that Daniel could have been mourning or fasting...But Daniel did feel the need to fast to receive understanding of the news in the dream, and it was troubling to him.
Daniel found himself standing on the banks of the Tigris River. And Daniel saw someone, who some commentators believe to be Jesus, because the description that Daniel gives is very similar to the description that is given in Revelations 1: 12-16. However in my mind this doesn't really matter because we are looking for explanation, not who is giving it.
Apparently there were a few others with Daniel and they fled, the bible says they were filled with fear and they hid from the vision. And as Daniel saw this man he went to the ground and his face was completely to the ground. He had no strength at all and all his colour left him, yet he could hear the voice of the one coming to him. And this person introduced himself to Daniel and helped Daniel to stand and to speak with him and he gave Daniel some strength. And again Daniel is told that he is deeply loved by God. Wow, can you imagine this. You know what, I believe I just heard God telling me that I am also. Be still and know that I am God, Rebecca....I know God sometimes we need to just do this. God help me to explain this 10th and 11th chapters of Daniel...Okay so this, I believe this was an angel, helped Daniel to understand what was going to be happening to the Hebrew people in many days to come, back in the beginning of this chapter, it says: In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long. So apparently there would be a span of time, before this whole dream/vision would be fulfilled. And the whole explanation of this picks up in the next chapter. So I will be back with you tomorrow morning bright and early. I had to complete this once I got to work, internet was down at home.
So God Bless You and please be a blessing to someone today.
